Pump stations play a crucial role in water distribution systems. They move water from lower to higher elevations and maintain pressure in pipes. Modern pump stations use advanced technology to operate efficiently. SCADA systems enhance water operations by allowing remote monitoring of well levels, control of pumps, and tracking of flows, tank levels, and pressures. […]
Sludge dewatering is a key step in wastewater treatment. It reduces sludge volume and makes disposal easier. New methods are improving this process. Recent innovations in sludge dewatering are making the process more efficient and environmentally friendly. Mechanical deep dewatering techniques are becoming more popular. These methods use pressure and special additives to remove more […]
Desalination technologies have come a long way in recent years, especially for inland applications. These advances are helping to address water scarcity issues in regions far from the coast. New solar-powered desalination systems can now produce freshwater at costs lower than traditional tap water sources. MIT researchers have developed a solar-powered desalination device that can […]
Corrosion in wastewater systems is a major problem that affects infrastructure worldwide. It can lead to costly repairs, service disruptions, and even environmental hazards. The fight against corrosion in these systems has been ongoing for decades, but new technologies are changing the game. Recent innovations in corrosion prevention and control are making waves in the […]
UV and ozone disinfection technologies have made significant strides in recent years. These methods use powerful light or gas to kill harmful microorganisms in air, water, and on surfaces. UV light at specific wavelengths can disrupt the DNA of pathogens, making them unable to reproduce or cause infections. New types of UV light show promise […]
Water utilities play a crucial role in our daily lives, but they also have a significant impact on the environment. The energy-intensive processes of treating and distributing water contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Saving water can lead to energy savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, making it a key strategy for water utilities to lower […]
Data analytics is revolutionizing utility operations. Companies are using data to make smarter decisions and improve efficiency. By analyzing large amounts of information, utilities can spot trends and fix problems before they happen. Utilities that use data analytics can cut costs, boost reliability, and serve customers better. For example, power companies can use data to […]
Natural disasters and emergencies can severely impact our water systems. From hurricanes to earthquakes, these events can disrupt water supply and contaminate drinking water. Preparing water systems for such events is crucial to ensure public health and safety. Many publicly owned water systems provide water for human consumption in the United States. These systems face […]
Biosolids management has come a long way in recent years. These treated wastewater products can be used as fertilizer for crops and forests. Biosolids improve soil structure by binding soil particles together, creating stable soil with good physical properties. New ways to use biosolids are being developed all the time. Some farms use them to […]
